in \everyday use\ by alice walker, what is the most likely reason that dee takes pictures of her mother and maggie when she first arrives at the house?

a. dee has distanced herself so much from her mother and maggie that seeing their house was like seeing an exhibit in a museum.

c. dee does not remember what the house looks like, and she wants to make sure she doesnt forget in the future.
d. dee wants to be able to show her friends pictures of her family and the place where she grew up.

Explanation:

In Everyday Use, Dee (Wangero) adopts a disconnected, outsider perspective of her family's rural home and roots, treating them as a cultural artifact rather than her living family. This aligns with viewing them like a museum exhibit, while the other options do not match her detached, performative attitude toward her origins.

Answer:

A. Dee has distanced herself so much from her mother and Maggie that seeing their house was like seeing an exhibit in a museum.
